I am looking to format my computer and reinstall Windows 7 - I have the Windows 7 ISO file but no USB flash drive. I do have a terabyte hard drive but I don't want to wipe the contents.

Is it possible to partition a part of it then place the ISO on it?

If so what tools do I need and what should I look out for?

I am currently on Windows XP machine. External HD is Seagate 1TB

    How about just burning the ISO to a real DVD?

    That requires an optical drive. The OP did not state that he had one.

This is what I ended up using:

Windows Partition Wizard to create a 10 GB partition on my external USB HD, then burned the ISO to the newly created partition.
